Abstract

A microstrip 1:4 switched power splitter (SPWS) printed on flexible Kapton substrate is designed. The SPWS topology is designed and implemented in hybrid technology by using the packaged switch SKY13298-360LF biased with 1.8 V supply. Electromagnetic and circuit co-simulations confirm the SPWS performance to operate in the IEEE standard 802.11a bands from 5.470-5.725 GHz. The designed 1:4 SPWS presents -3.5 dB and -30 dB insertion losses were evaluated respectively for the on- and off-state branches. Furthermore, the input and output return losses are respectively of about -17 dB and -15 dB. This flexible SPWS can be potentially used to design switched beam steering wireless system.
